  Dead, alive… salmon are wise beyond their state. Maybe it knew who killed it?

  It’s not November just yet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes their dream home⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll get the house, you the spaceship and we swap every other year or so?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Major earthquake rocks rooftop pool in Thailand⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Infinity and beyond pool.

  The wave pool is on the 60th - remember to wear your safety harness at all times while swimming!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Musk shares post that Hitler didn’t kill millions, public workers did. Union rages⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aha! So you’re responsible for the brown spots on my lawn?! It’s alright, now that I know it was in good faith.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hates Apple⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are good alternatives to both of those, and they’re free, and very customizable.

  File Allocation Table?

  “Have I Got News For You… US! I meant news for us!”

  How yours truly read the title.

  Like, to the next town over, or even further?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mhm. That said, only a few places around where I live have “coin operated” carts. I guess the places that do have them got tired of the selfish, inconsiderate sobs who didn’t return the carts.

  To me it feels so utterly strange to just dump a cart in the middle of a parking lot and, seemingly, think nothing of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon uses a phone book⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I first bought a phone as soon as the first GSM networks opened, in Norway, in 1993. My first phone was a Pioneer PCC-D700 and, if memory serves, it cost 2995 NOK / ~300 EUR.

  Before GSM became a thing, phones were crazy expensive, though. Almost as expensive as an iPhone, he.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fede Alvarez Wants to Co-Direct ‘Alien Vs. Predator' Movie with Dan Tratchenberg⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen that movie, and it was terrible.

  How about Alien vs. Batman, or Predator vs. Jackie Chan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Awnings: a simple cooling tech we apparently forgot about⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe, in the future, we’ll have rapid up/rapid down trees? With AI. Maybe they’ll get the ability to walk, too, so they can stand where they provide the most shade.

  Godzilla x Kong in second place is… puzzling. I couldn’t get through more than 10 minutes of that shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smooth⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It makes up for it by having a brain shaped like a battleship gun battery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Radio Caroline, Britain's pirate radio station broadcasting from sea, turns 60 years strong⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re still on the air?! Wow… I read a lot about it (and Radio City) a couple of decades ago, as I was reading up on the Maunsell Forts. I had no idea they were broadcasting back then, so to learn they’re still on the air now is fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Euro bottles are so much better now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  On many bottles I’ve encountered the ring that keeps the cap attached to the bottleneck has been quite loose, so you rotate the cap up/left/right, thinking you’re good to pour, then as you get going the cap slips back down, ensuring you distribute whatever you were pouring all over the the table.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So which is it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Alternatively, just salad, just bowls, just wraps and just more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨totally tardigrades⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Mhm, skilpadde.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Heat Pumps Are the Future, and How Your Home Could Use One⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was just reading an article on heat pumps in Norway; in 2004, only 4% of households had a heat pump. In 2023 that number had risen to over 40%, which probably equates to almost all homes that aren’t apartments.

  Heat pumps have become very efficient, and as a bonus you get an airconditioner, too.

  UK harvesting the benefits of Brexit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shopping at Target⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Me neither, nor do I ever think I’ve been to a shoe store that keeps boxes of shoes on the shelves like that. I’m used to display models; find something you like, then you ask an assistant what sizes you’d like to try on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linear TV Falls Below 50% of Viewing for First Time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  2010, that was the year I returned my cable decoder to sender. Now I forget linear TV is still a thing, and it must’ve been a decade since I heard anyone utter the words “did you watch X on Y last night”, as well.
